Ask your typical Chilean what they feel about Pinochet -- it isn't pretty. Chile is free in spite, not because of his rule.

Then they don't know their own history. Pinochet was a reluctactant hero to his people and if they are resentful (I know some who are not) they are also ignorant.
from wiki:
Pinochet came to power in a coup d'état on September 11, 1973 after the Chamber of Deputies in its Resolution of August 22, 1973 declared that Allende had violated the Constitution.

Ask the typical Seattlite what they feel about Reagan.
Or what the average German felt about Hitler in 1940.
